HDFGWTR2_EL2, Hypervisor Debug Fine-Grained Write Trap Register 2

The HDFGWTR2_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides controls for traps of MSR and MCR writes of debug, trace, PMU, and Statistical Profiling System registers.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_FGT2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to HDFGWTR2_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.

Attributes

HDFGWTR2_EL2 is a 64-bit register.
